What ads?

I have the Adblock Plus extension and it comes pre-configured with most ad sources blocked.

Am I missing something? I am not sure what you all are talking about.

Jeremy is referring to the ads you would normally see (without adblocker) when entering this site. As an experiment, users with 1000 or more posts have had ads disabled. Ads are a source of revenue for this site, and as such they may be re-enabled again for all except, contributing members who have the facility to turn them on or off.

Nope, don't miss them a bit, don't even notice they are gone.

But, I hated only the ones that moved, twitched, or blinked -- they got on my nerves, I think literally. Whenever there was a flash ad displayed, I found that I could not concentrate on the page. I wonder if this is physical symptom -- borderline epilepsy, or, more likely, borderline ADD, or some other undocumented "geek syndrome".

In any case I would like to see relevant, discrete, text ads; not just for the revenue they would bring LQ, but for their content.

That is indeed a bug. We'll get it cleaned up in a future release. Thanks for the feedback.
